Does anyone have a copy of the album (vinyl LP) THE UNEXPECTED by
Raymond Scott and the Secret Seven (Top Rank Records, ca. 1960) in
STEREO??

I'm not looking to buy, just to get a decent quality DAT copy. Again, it
must be *stereo* (I have the mono). This is to assist in the CD reissue.
We have the master tapes, but there are a few glitches.

If you can help, please contact me directly, not the list.

Thanks.

Subject: (exotica) Band I heard in Tijuana

My father was very fond of these LPs  (released on Marble Arch over here) I
have his copies of Volume 1 and 3.  One of my friends has the boxed set
which I think has volumes 1 to 5,  although it may go higher.  My dad always
thought that the arrangements and playing were similar enough to Herb
Alperts (the material seemed to be all the same) to make them a cheap and
enjoyable alternative,  although I find them a bit flat,  and I think that
the production and cut lacks the warmth of Herb Alperts records.

 called "America Sings"--I'm not really sure of the exact year, but I'm
 guessing around the bicentennial. >>

the one at WDW stayed around until about 3-4 years ago i think.  it was one of
my favorite attractions.  i loved the song "Now is the best time of your

Subject: Re: (exotica) minidisc swaps, anyone?

I think this is a great idea!  I was never really into tape swaps because
the quality is so lousy.

Which model did you buy?  Here in the US, the recording industry has done
their best to squash MiniDisc, but somehow Sony has succeeded in offering
some models.  Unfortunately, Sony is all you can get here.  In Japan, the
MiniDisc is very popular, and there are hundreds of models from which to
choose.  (I plan on buying a new MD Walkman when I'm there next month.)

How should we do the swap?  Should we compile lists of what we have, or just
put out 'wish lists'?

Let me know...

Damn.  I've got a copy of the original theme song, "There's a Great Big
Beautiful Tomorrow," on the Disney box set _A Legacy in Song_.  (Check out
the story, below.)  I seem to remember having an LP of Carousel of
Progress, um, stuff--maybe narration, and music?  Am I dreaming this up?
The reason it's so vivid in my mind is that the pictures included with the
record helped to form what I thought about when I thought of the "space
age"--and thus became the subconscious images that led to my interest in
exotica.

Btw, has anybody heard this "Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" song?  At first,
I thought it had a theremin in it, but on closer listening, it sounds like
a voice--which is weird to me, since I always thought that theremin sounds
were actually vocal parts, before I knew what the instrument was.  Seems
like here, they used a voice to emulate a theremin emulating a voice.


Here's what the box set booklet says about the Carousel of Progress:

"Another pavilion Disney created for the 1964-65 New York World's Fair was
the Carousel of Progress.  Sponsored by General Electric, the show was
designed to demonstrate the ways electricity and modern conveniences had
improved the quality of people's lives.

"Walt needed a song to bridge the changes in scenes so, as usual, he turned
to the Sherman brothers, who responded with 'There's a Great Big Beautiful
Tomorrow.'

"After it had finished its run at the World's Fair, Walt decided to make
some changes in the show and move it to Disneyland.  The 'new and improved'
version, which opened in 1967, featured improved Audio-Animatronics figures
and a more sophisticated 'moving' carousel theater in which the audience
revolved from scene to scene.

"When the Carousel of Progress moved to Walt Disney World in 1973, 'There's
a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow' was retired (replaced by another Sherman
brothers song, 'The Best Time of Your Life.')  However, it received a new
lease on life in 1983 when it became a featured song at Horizons at EPCOT
Center in the Walt Disney World resort."

Subject: (exotica) Aerobics leaders look at swing dance (AP)

    WASHINGTON (AP) -- Fitness class leaders, edgy at being wallflowers during
a hot revival of swing, are looking for ways to translate dances like the
Lindy hop into aerobics.
    ``It's my opinion that it's going to be the next big thing,'' said Juliane
Gendron, education manager of IDEA, a national fitness professionals group.
``By the beginning of next year, we should see cardiovascular classes that
are based on swing dance steps.''
    The swing revival is far more than a return to the sound they danced to the
1930s, '40s and pre-rock 'n' roll '50s. Led by such new groups as the
Squirrel Nut Zippers, today's hot music adds rock's drive to the old big
band bounce. The music has been finding homes in night clubs across the
country.
    For younger dancers, swing is so new that it's still being taught in the
clubs that feature it. Typically, an instructor will get the newbies going
early in the night so they can work their way in with more experienced dancers.
    ``What I've seen is clubs offering dance lessons before a band starts,''
said swing dancer and aerobics instructor Melissa Joulwan of Kentfield,
Calif. ``But I wouldn't be at all surprised if exercise facilities started
swing lessons down the road. That's the trend. Things start in clubs and
become more formalized, and end up being taught as an aerobics class.''
    It happened with hip hop and salsa, among other dances, said Joulwan, who
edits and publishes Go, Girl!, a webzine for active women.
    Swing dancing has plenty of aerobic potential, experts say. A study at
California State University, Long Beach found swing can get participants'
heart rates into the aerobic training range. Fast, vigorous dancing also can
stoke the body to a burn rate of around 400 calories an hour, said the
study, cited in the University of California, Berkeley Wellness Letter.
    But aerobic training work requires about 20 minutes of continuous activity
at vigorous intensity. So dancers who also look for a workout couldn't sit
between songs. They'd have to dance a 3-4-song set, the newsletter said.
    And to make swing work in a health club, some changes would have to be
made. The music itself might have to be modified. Although it would be
possible to dance to hot hits by big-name bands, band tempos are not set to
heart rates, as made-for-aerobics music is. Club leaders might have to
search out swing-style aerobics music.
    Some is available, however. Muscle Mixes Music of Orlando, Fla., has been
producing swing for aerobics for five years, said Randi Solomon, a vice
president and music producer.
    The earlier versions were marketed for senior citizens classes, Solomon
said. The newer music, including some released this year, comes as
instructors look for something to try with young adults, she said.
    Other changes also would be needed. Swing's sometimes-complex footwork
would have to be simplified so entire classes could do it together, Gendron
said. Inevitably, some moves from aerobics would be mixed in, she said.
    ``You'd simplify, No.1, and you take traditional group exercise moves and
put a swing style to it,'' Gendron said. ``That way your class feels more
comfortable.''
    Also, swing is a partners dance, so the choreographer may have to develop a
way to dance as a class without partners, Gendron said.
    One facility splits the night club-health club difference by offering
non-aerobics swing dance in a health club studio.
    ``For a deconditioned person, it would be an aerobic exercise,'' said Julie
McNeneney, vice president of operations at The Fitness Group in Vancouver,
British Columbia. ``For others, it is just an opportunity to move and have
fun.''
    As for the dancers-without-partners dilemma, McNeneney's solution is
simple: ``We can pair 'em up when they get here.''

"The Best Time of Your Life" is the one that I like so much.  Again, if any
list member runs across a 45 at a thrift and does not want it let me know.
They would give the 45's out free in front of the attraction.

I have been to Horizons many times but cannot recall "There's a Great Big
Beautiful Tomorrow" song.  I have a Disney CD that has an instrumental of the
song played during the "Space Sequence" and there is a song called "Horizons"
on the CD also.  Maybe they dumped the song somewhere along the line.  I was
at Horizons when it firsted opened and many times after that and I cannot
remember the Beautiful song.  This bugs me because I am real observant with
this stuff.

I actually have The Carosel of Progress video taped (yes the entire show!).
During the early 1980's I was very interested in the Space Shuttle program and
a college buddy and I used to go to Fla to see the launches.  Cape Canaveral
and WDW are only about 6 hours from Charleston SC where I live so we went a
lot.  Disney had these killer rates for students and we must have gone 15 to
20 times in a 6-7 year period.  Anyway, my friend had a video camera (one of
the first) and was big into video-taping anything that moved.  We have lots of
the shows, attractions, etc. recorded.  I need to get in the attic and find
some of these tapes.

    i think vol 1 & 2 are deleted. vol 4 (the xmas one) is said to
    be rereleased for xmas this year. Best of Easy Tunes compiles
    volumes 1 through 4. (each volume only had about 5 or 6 songs

Vol 2 is the Xmas one. Best of has only selected tracks from the four
volumes and a couple of new tracks, but it has none of the Xmas tracks.

(I have them all and used to do their promotion)

Subject: (exotica) Not "Progress" for her!

Since 1955, when Disney World first opened, seven guests have lost their
lives on various rides in the park. Each of these (reputedly) was the
result of their own neglegence. However, the simple fact of their deaths
serves as a grim reminder that not even Disney World is a perfect place.

In addition, one employee was killed. In 1974, an 18-year-old cast
member was killed when she became caught between a rotating wall and a
stationary one in Disney's Carousel of Progress theatre.

Everyone has hidden qualities, but I regret I'm darned if
I can see any in Mr Costello.  I don't want to start a flame
war, just simply understand what all the fuss is about.

If someone would like to continue a parallel thread, I'd
like to nominate the following three people as artists
who have become stars simply because their record
companies have hyped them up that way.

Elvis Costello
Tanita Tikaram
Labi Siffre

Any more proposals?
Hugh.

Hi there:

I'm one the International Editorial Advisory Board (or whatever it is)
for Perfect Beat.  It's a good journal, in my view . . . not too dryly
ethnomusicological, with some interesting stuff on Hawaiian guitar
in a recent issue and more stuff of interest to this list being promised.
I was supposed to do an Esquivel piece for the Wild Sounds book,
but fell way behind on other stuff and had to withdraw.  Editor
Phil Hayward has just stepped down, turning it over to a younger
colleague, but they're a nice bunch of people and I spent a fab
evening in the Sutherland pub in Sydney with them last October.
